Jasper 0 Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) You would have to know the power requirements of the equipment to know the answer to that question. 12 Volts is usually DC & 24 volts is AC. Edited November 24, 2005 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WirelessEye 0 Posted November 24, 2005 My experience (which is limited with fixed cameras) is that the housing takes 24VAC (for the heater and fan) and the camera takes either 12VDC or 24VAC (or either one). Of course, the heater has the most draw. This probably the only reason 24VAC is necessary for the enclosure, as the fan is generally 12VDC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
